This Integration supports multiple instances
Check out the instructions to set up multiple instances here.
Experimental Feature
This is an advanced feature that does not offer the same level of support as Rewst's built-in integrations. While we have made efforts to ensure its stability, we recommend caution in using this feature in production environments until further testing and development have been completed.
This guide provides an overview of how to configure custom integrations within our platform. Custom integrations allow you to connect with a wide range of REST APIs that are not currently supported by our official integration offerings.
To enable the Custom Integrations feature for your organization, follow these steps:
Click on the Settings option in the left-hand side navigation bar.
Select Feature Preview in the expanded menu.
Select Custom Integrations the resulting page.
Click the Enable button in the top right corner of the panel.
After these steps, the Custom integration will be available for installation.
Start by installing the Custom integration. This integration leverages the features of Integration Multi-tenancy to support configuring many different integrations.
Choose a name for your integration. Note that you cannot use the name Default for this purpose. We recommend naming configurations after the product you're integrating with.
Enter the hostname to be used as the base URL for API requests and select the authentication method from a drop-down of supported options.
Enter the authentication details relevant to the selected authentication method.
API Key
Basic Authentication
OAuth 2.0
This authentication method requires setting up an OAuth client within your account with the relevant service provider. Please see vendor documentation for specific details on how to get the required information. For example, to integrate with Spotify you would need to follow the documentation here and set up a Spotify App.
Ensure that when prompted for a Redirect URI you use the following value: https://engine.rewst.io/integrations/custom/callback.
This step is only used when the selected authentication method is OAuth 2.0 and the selected grant type is Authorization Code. An Authorize button will be displayed, which works similarly to the rest of our integration authorization buttons.
In this case, the page will look like this:
Otherwise, you will see this page, and no action is needed for this step:
This is an optional step to ensure that the integration configuration was successful and the API can be reached.
To test the configuration, enter the URL path for an endpoint that we can send a GET request to in order to validate that a 200 response code is returned.
If the connection attempt was successful you will see the following:
Once your custom integration is set up, you can use it in your workflows and tasks using the Custom API Request action. You select which custom integration configuration to use for a workflow using Integration Overrides, which is covered in more detail in the Integration Multitenancy page at the top.
